tömegáramlásmérkkel

Tömegáramlásmérő is a Hungarian term that translates to mass flow meter in English. It refers to a device used to measure the mass flow rate of a fluid. Unlike volumetric flow meters, which measure the volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time, mass flow meters directly measure the mass of the fluid. This is particularly useful when the density of the fluid can vary significantly due to changes in temperature or pressure, as the mass flow rate remains independent of these factors.

There are several types of mass flow meters, each operating on different principles. Coriolis mass flow meters are a common type, utilizing the Coriolis effect. As a fluid flows through vibrating tubes, it experiences a twisting force that is proportional to its mass flow rate. Thermal mass flow meters measure the rate of heat transfer from a heated element to the fluid. The amount of heat dissipated is directly related to the mass flow rate of the fluid. Other types include differential pressure mass flow meters, which infer mass flow from volumetric flow measurements combined with density compensation.

Mass flow meters are employed in a wide range of industrial applications, including process control, chemical manufacturing, oil and gas industries, and food and beverage production. Their ability to provide accurate and direct mass flow measurements makes them indispensable for applications where precise control of material input or output is critical. This accuracy ensures efficient operations, product quality, and safety in many industrial processes.
